How our Mexican street food works in Newhaven
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. It works well for hospitality and crew areas and county and country shows, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
Community events in Newhaven often rely on a few good food traders. Tacos, burritos and nachos cover meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans from one pitch. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Organisers looking at Castle Hill as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. Organisers near the South Downs National Park, within about 5 miles of Newhaven, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 3 miles of Newhaven, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.

What else we do in Newhaven
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How we price Mexican street food
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- How long we’re needed on site
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What power and water the site has
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
How it compares
Cooked-from-raw street food can slow queues. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Newhaven questions
Can you serve near the sea around Newhaven?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station is closest to Newhaven?
Newhaven has its own station: Newhaven Town station.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
